Borna disease virus (BDV) is a virus with capability to cause neurological disease in several species of mammals and of ostriches. Also humans are suspected to be susceptible to the virus, as the viral RNA and antibodies against BDV have been found in some humans with psychiatric diseases, like schizophrenia and depression. In Sweden there is a disease called staggering disease in cats, associated to BDV-infection. This disease often has a fatal progress. Definite diagnosis is reached by histo-pathological and immunohistochemical examination of the central nervous system.

This report describes the planning and the accomplishment of the final diploma workat the study program Mechanical Engineering, Department of Engineering Sciences, Uppsala University. Two students carried out the diploma work at GE HealthcareHusbyborg in Uppsala.The aim of the diploma work was to develop and improve existing processequipment for 11C-radiochemistry in PET. The process equipment was to be dividedinto smaller independent modules to make it more flexible. Part of the existingprocess equipment is an oven that is supposed to perform a specific chemicalreaction. One of the main goals was to study and improve this oven.The work could be divided into three main phases: 1.Present concepts for one module, and interface between different modules.

AnstÀlldas sjukfrÄnvaro beror till större del pÄ stressrelaterade sjukdomar. Det finns tidigare studier som visar pÄ samband mellan stress och dÄlig hÀlsa, men mindre forskning som berör hur stress uppkommer, och sÀrskilt hur ekonomiska styrmedel kan pÄverka stress. Denna studies syfte Àr att utforska hur styrmedel kan pÄverka arbetsrelaterade stressdrivare, sÄ kallade stressorer. De styrmedel som undersökts Àr cybernetiska och administrativa styrmedel och pÄ dessa har den sÄ kallade Krav-Kontroll-Stöd-modellen anvÀnts. En fallstudie har genomförts med kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer pÄ tvÄ olika produktionsavdelningar inom Uppsala kommun.

This has led to adiscussion amongst the student nations in Uppsala as to how this proposed change will affectthe nations? future operations. Some, including the chairwoman for Kuratorskonventet,Therez Olsson, and the 1Q for Norrland?s student nation, Jon Stridh, have expressed theirworries that this could lead to a decrease in members.

Detektivromanen Àr en genre som pÄ senare Är blivit omÄttligt populÀr. Idag kan man köpa en deckare i nÀstan varje kiosk och matbutik. PÄ detta följer att omslagen i de flesta fall mÄste sticka ut ur mÀngden för att boken ska bli sÄld, vilket sÄlunda gör det intressant att undersöka vilka metoder man anvÀnder ? och har anvÀnt ? för att locka lÀsare..

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) promotes the Ecosystem Approach (EA). In this thesis it is analyzed how the EA approach could be applied to regional management of coastal areas in Sweden. The aim of this report is to compare management for preserving biodiversity on a landscape level in two regional coastal areas in Uppsala and VÀstra Götaland respectively. In Uppsala, one of the plans consists of a previous nature reserve and in VÀstra Götaland, a Regional landscape strategy has been established. The ecosystem approach is used as a theoretical framework in this thesis.

NÀr en organisation vÀljer att implementera ett affÀrssystem, leder det till en stor teknologisk förÀndring, men Àven en stor organisationsförÀndring. Det faller sig dÄ naturligt att implementeringen kommer att ge intryck pÄ organisationens övriga verksamhet. Uppsatsen redogör för om och hur de anstÀllda i en organisation, som implementerat ett affÀrssystem, upplever förÀndring i sina arbetsroller samt i organisationens styrning. Arbetsroller inkluderar bÄde de anstÀlldas arbetsuppgifter samt deras relationer till kollegor. En fallstudie har gjorts pÄ LantmÀnnen Cerealia Uppsala, dÀr detta undersökts ur ett lednings- och avdelningsperspektiv.

Uppsalas nya konstmuseum har fÄtt sina proportioner frÄn det som redan innan fanns pÄ platsen. Godsmagasinet, en lÄg avlÄng tegelbyggnad frÄn 1908, har gett det nya museet dess form. Magasinet och museet strÀcker ut sig lÀngs varandra. Mellan dem byggs ett nytt torg pÄ vad som tidigare var en parkeringsplats. I bÄda Àndarna av byggnaderna leder trappor upp till torget som Àr upphöjt en bit ovanför trotoaren, i samma höjd som godsmagasinets gamla lastkaj. Idag inrymmer magasinet ett kafé, tvÄ butiker och en jazzklubb.

HÀlsans Stig Àr ett koncept för en promenad- och motionsslinga som i Sverige initieras av HjÀrt- och Lungsjukas Riksförbund tillsammans med landets kommuner. De har i dagslÀget anlagt 110 stigar i stÀder runtom i landet. Stigen anlÀggs för att uppmuntra mÀnniskor i alla Äldrar till att motionera samt att förebygga hjÀrtkÀrlsjukdomar. Syftet med kandidatuppsatsen Àr att undersöka hur konceptet HÀlsans Stig kan appliceras pÄ en svensk stad. Ett förslag pÄ var i staden stigen kan placeras och dras presenteras. Jag valde Uppsala som plats eftersom staden idag saknar denna stig.

Estimation of the variation in the integrated hydraulic conductivity around the TunÄsen infiltration facility - An investigation of the effects of uncertainties in existing informationAlmost half of Sweden?s drinking water volume is produced from groundwater. The main fraction of this is extracted from eskers, some of which allow for very large extraction rates. Despite this, the groundwater volume is not sufficient in some areas. This has led to an extensive use of artificial recharge.In Uppsala, the total volume added through artificial recharge is divided between four infiltration facilities.

Denna studie undersöker ett antal unga elitfotbollsspelare i Uppsala och deras bakomliggande faktorer som kan styra deras fotbollsutövande och kulturella aktiviteter, enligt ungdomarna sjÀlva. För att förstÄr detta fenomen har vi vald att anvÀnda oss av Bourdieus sociologiska begrepp kapital. Kapital begreppet anvÀnds för att belysa det som ger anseende, prestige och social status i olika grupper. I undersökningen har vi anvÀnt oss av en kvalitativ gruppintervju dÀr samtliga respondenter var 19 Är. Det empiriska materialet utgÄr frÄn sex elitidrottande ungdomar som Àr verksamma i Uppsala. Resultaten frÄn studien tyder pÄ att elitfotbollsspelare som Àr uppvÀxta i likartade sociala omgivningar och gÄr i samma utbildningssystem genererar en homogen syn till fotboll och andra kulturella aktiviteter. Fotboll som aktivitet Àr starkt kopplat till hemmiljön dÀr elitungdomarna Àr en del av. Val av livsstil visade sig vara kopplat till ungdomars sociala och kulturella tillgÄngar som hemmiljö, vÀnner etc.

The purpose of this paper is to carry out a domain analysis of Section for Maps and Pictures at Uppsala University?s Library and investigate its business, collection and knowledge organization. Birger HjĂžrland?s socio-epistemological domain analytic paradigm is applied. As methods, HjĂžrland suggests eleven approaches, and from them he emphasizes especially the importance of the historical and epistemological approaches.In this paper three questions are analysed.

AbstractObjective: To investigate the occurrence of and the risk factors for falls and to  investigate level of fall-related self-efficacy and health-related quality of life in people living in community living, 75 years or older within Uppsala and VÀstmanlands county. A further aim was to identify predictive risk factors for falls. Design: A cross-section study with a descriptive, comparative and correlative design based on a questionnaire was used. Participants: The participants were recruited from Uppsala and VÀstmanlands county. A random selection on 525 individuals was done, from a population based sample, in the detailed municipalities.
